You must both upload and submit.  I can't help with technical errors.

For the Civil Documents, what are the kind/types/quantity of "Photographs" they want us to upload? I searched and I couldn't find exactly how many, what size, and format of photographs they want us to upload.

Hypothetically speaking if we were to submit all documents by the end of this month (February) and if all documents were approved with no issues then when is a rough estimate on when we can expect the date of the interview to be? Could it possibly be middle/late summer or later than that? Is there a typical time window?

You should be DQ and in the interview queue within two or three months. Interview date waiting time is country specific.  Your profile is incomplete as to country.

Thanks! In regards to the Photograph upload for the CEAC account, I was searching on Visa Journey and some people were saying to just take a photo using a phone/camera, but others said to take two physical 2x2 photos and scan them and upload the scan. Which one is correct, or preferred?

My preference is to take physical photos and scan them.

We are required to take all the original documents with us to the interview. Will we also need to take our "Financial Documents" including my Tax Return and our joint sponsors Tax Return? Or anything else that may sometimes get missed?

Take your whole file, just in case.  You never know what they will ask to see.

..

Really need your help here. NVC sent me two messages this morning. For context I am the petitioner applying for my spouse. I don't understand why they are saying that the petition I have filed doesn't allow for derivative status and that my spouse has to file a petition, since I am the petitioner and USCIS approved my I-130.

And I am currently not domiciled in the USA, but my joint sponsor is. I have all intention to move to the USA with my spouse. I thought that I didn't need to be domiciled in the USA if my joint sponsor was? Can you be kind enough to provide me with some suggestions as to what I could do here going forward to sort this out? Hopefully. 
 

Message 1 - DS-260 Review Note

"The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate."


Message 2 - Case FE Review Note
"(My name) may not have a principal residence or be domiciled in the United States. Please submit proof of domicile. For more information on domicile requirements, visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin. "

Ignore message one.  It is not applicable to you, if only your spouse is immigrating.  Your spouse's spouse is already a US Citizen, so not immigrating.

 

Lots of discussion here about how to demonstrate your intent to re-establish domicile in the USA.

What do you think or suggest I could do about both of these messages. I have no clue how to respond or act upon these messages. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated sir.

Use the search function for domicile issues.  Ignore the first message.  I already told you it was not applicable and why.

You are super helpful!

You're fortunate in being helped by the best.  Frequent advice here is, "Listen to pushbrk."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
